What Is Sciatic Pain and How Is It Usually Treated?

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back to the buttock and down the back of each leg. The lower lumbosacral nerve roots make up the sciatic nerve which is the longest nerve in the body. Although many people think of sciatica as a condition, it is actually a collection of symptoms.
